4 years old and still going.... September 3, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My old late 80's Sony Dream Machine cube-shaped analog clock radio died after 14 years of use and I was convinced I'd never again find a battery-operated, analog clock radio that was as small or cute. I was so thrilled to come across this Aiwa model!
Its small enough to not dominate your nightstand, but large enough to tell the time. The controls are super easy to use (no reading the manual) and the alarm on/off switch is easy to flip off even when you're bleary eyed. The big snooze button is also easy to hit and will allow you 5 more minutes of sleep. The AM/FM radio works well, although the FM sound is good but not great, but what do you expect from a single speaker? You have a choice to wake up to the alarm buzz (loud!) or the radio. I love how the alarm is set by the blue ring around the face of the clock--just turn it to point to the desired time....no more fumbling around for that little knob on the back of the clock. This unit takes four AA batteries--two for the clock, two for the radio. A set of batteries lasts me almost a year (I use the alarm 5x a week).
I've had this clock for 4 years now, no problems--and still going strong!
